And the more I read it - the more questions I have. For example, Saul wrote: "Edgar Degas' by allowing the framing edge to cut through a figure as a way to challenge the traditional conception of the painted image as a self-contained whole also has its origins in photography as does his use of extreme angles and compressed space." Could someone point me toward a mid-19th Century photographer who was allowing the "framing edge to cut through a figure" ? I'm also wondering what would be examples of "extreme angles and compressed space" -- both in Degas and the photography that he might have seen. ____________________________________________ Saul Ostrow | Visual Arts & Technologies Environment Chair, Sculpture Voice: 216-421-7927 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.cia.edu<http://www.cia.edu/> The Cleveland Institute of Art | 11141 East Boulevard, Cleveland, OH 44106 ____________________________________________________________ Love Graphic Design?
